No offence but u have no idea, centre and wing are the hardest positions to defend in rl

You have to have good judgement defending on the wing but wingers seem to be fairly bad at it because they are usually big dopey athletes with no vision or anticipation. Thats one of the reason I think the halves are better suited to defend there.

You want him efending our wide where he will have to make more one-on-one tackles? You’re saying he’s too small, yet you want him tackling second rowers, centres and wingers by himself?

Yes, these little guys are fine at making a one on one bootlace tackle every now and then (Sandow for example was great usually) the problem they have is those types of tackles are an error in the middle of the field and give up fast play the balls. The little guys also get dominated in wrestle. They also don't get enough of a breather in the middle.

Really? A lot of the time wingers have a 2 on 1 situation to defend, it’s almost impossible to defend against, so of course they will look like poor defenders, but a lot of the time it’s not their fault but inside defender not making the right call.

This Gennings looked like a poor defender at times, but gee mennings made some poor decisions and tackles.

No he wasn’t. He was ducking rubbish at any part of the game where he didn’t have the ball in his hands (and quite often rubbish then as well).

I’m sorry but I can’t agree with anything you are saying. I’m not saying that they are bad ideas...I’m more saying that they are f**king retarded.

Thats what I am saying, it is a tough position to defend sometimes so you should have a smart player out there who has anticipation and the like.

Regarding Sandow I saw him make a lot of technically great boot-lace tackles. The type of tackle that 20 years ago would have been applauded but in todays game (in the middle) lead to fast play the balls and therefore are a mistake. They would still be great tackles on the wing. So would the tackles that our current dummy halves make.
Sandow was indeed a terrible all around defender because he was too small and also dropped his bottle (quit) a lot.
